Despite the Brewers beating the A's 4-3 in ten innings on Tuesday night, they're still 22-35 this season. They're coming off of a 6-22 month of May, tying the record for the worst month in franchise history. They're in last place in the NL Central, 15.5 games behind the division-leading Cardinals, who happen to have […]

Kyuji Fujikawa was signed to be Carlos Marmol's eventual replacement as Cubs closer. Now, just 12 innings into his stateside career, the right-hander needs Tommy John surgery. Fujikawa left his May 26 outing against the Reds with what the Cubs were hoping was a forearm strain — the same injury that cost him a month […]

It's still too early to tell just how much damage was done by the massive tornado that hit the Oklahoma City area Monday, but it's clear the rebuilding costs are going to be astronomical. The Dodgers' Matt Kemp is from the OKC suburb of Midwest City, just a few miles from the city of Moore, […]

It's been a rough start to the season for the AL's reigning Cy Young winner. David Price came into Wednesday night's start against the Red Sox carrying a 4.78 ERA, opponents were posting an OPS near .800 against him and the Rays were 2-6 in his starts. Things got worse against Boston, as Price gave […]

At 17-11, the St. Louis Cardinals sit atop the NL Central and are tied with Atlanta and Colorado for the best mark in the National League. There is one major weakness with the Cards, though — their bullpen has been an absoloute disaster in the absence of Jason Motte. Their relievers are putting up the […]

Maybe it's all of the injuries this season. Maybe it's the fear of missing the playoffs this year and next. For whatever reason, the New York Yankees look like they're (already) ditching their plan to cut back on spending. Much was made about the Yankees' desire to keep payroll below the expected $189 million luxury […]

The "Ask Me Anything" threads on Reddit are a pretty good example of modern social media providing access to celebrities that wouldn't have been possible just a few years ago. Sometimes they're informative, sometimes they're funny. Sometimes, they're just plain weird, like Jose Canseco's AMA today. Of course, if you're familiar with Canseco's work on […]

Brewers ace Yovani Gallardo was arrested early this morning after being pulled over for driving drunk in Milwaukee. The All-Star pitcher was stopped at 2:10 a.m. for driving slowly on Interstate 94 and "deviating lanes" near Miller Park. After failing a field sobriety test, Gallardo blew a BAC of 0.22, almost three times Wisconsin's legal […]

The Reds enjoyed a full season of healthy starting pitching on their way to an NL Central crown last season. This year is already a different story, though, as they'll have to do without their Opening Day starter for at least the next 15 days. Cincinnati placed right-hander Johnny Cueto on the disabled list Monday […]

Scott Boras hit it big with a massive contract extension for Elvis Andrus on Monday, but he won't get the chance to do the same with Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano. Cano fired Boras today, and has signed with Roc Nation Sports, a new agency under Jay-Z's Roc Nation umbrella that's partnering with the more-traditional […]

'Tis the season for mega-extensions. First, the Tigers locked up Justin Verlander through 2020 on Friday. Then, the Giants signed reigning National League MVP Buster Posey through 2021. Now, it looks like the next young star to cash in is Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus. Fox's Ken Rosenthal

The Brewers had a much more quiet offseason this past winter than they did following the 2011 season. There was no major free agent like Prince Fielder leaving town. There was no need to replace Fielder with someone like Aramis Ramirez. Milwaukee simply attempted to strengthen their club with deals that weren't very sexy, but […]
